"What's your recent DVD purchase?"

Before DVDs came along there was VHS. I never bought a single movie on VHS, my brother only bought 3 (SE Star Wars) and my younger brother about 10 (a mix of 80ies films like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Red Dwarf).

But now we seem to buy DVDs all the time, collectively we have just under 200 DVDs now and we buy atleast 1 DVD a week as a family. (we used to rent a lot but we dont anymore and the nearest cinema is 30 minutes drive away). I guess it is good news for the television and film industries. Anyone else noticed that they're buying more DVDs than they did VHS?

My recent DVD purchase was Donnie Darko Prism Edition. At a very nice price of £4.99 to encourage those who wouldnt have bought the film otherwise, despite having no special features. It's a very interesting and unusual film nothing like I've seen before.

I also pre-ordered a DVD boxset. Most of you are too young and would probably confuse it with the awful Matt LeBanc movie that came out years ago. It's the Lost In Space Series 1 boxset. 8 DVDs, 31 episodes, a collective running time of 23 hours and 42 minutes (possible marathon attempt?) At a nice price of £39.99 "DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!"

Anyone else buy anything on DVD lately?

Oh, it's worth it.

And if you haven't seen 'em, you're in for a real treat.

Never watched the tseries, but I may order the 24 series 1+2 either week coming or week after.

Pre Ordered Kill Bill

Ordered Series 3 off play too.

Damn so cheap.

And I bought Training Day.

"Do that again and i'll slap tha taste outta your mouth!"

Hahahahahaha

Ordered a couple from play:

Goodfellas - £6.49
The Simpsons Series 1 Box Set - £15.99

Bit of a music DVD buying spree -

Levellers Live DVD (Ok, so it comes with OTF membership, but I bought that)
Thunder Live at the Marquee
G3 Live in Denver (one of the signed American ones)

And they all bring forth much rock.

3 for 2 ex-rentals at Blockbuster:

Roger Dodger
Death To Smoochy
Buffalo Soldiers

Not bad for £19.98
